El uso del Kahoot y su influencia en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes en la asignatura de Historia en el segundo año de bachillerato en la Unidad Educativa Particular Ecuatoriano Suizo en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper analyzes the influence of the digital tool Kahoot on learning in the subject of History among second-year high school students at the Unidad Educativa Parituclar Ecuatoriano Suizo in the city of Quito, Ecuador. Given the evidence of low results on national assessments, which show clear difficulties in critical-historical analyisis, the study is based on the great potencial of active methodologies and gamification to increase motivation and participation. Using an explanatory quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design, an experimental group, which will use Kahoot, will be contrasted with a control group following a traditional methodology, applying surveys and statistical analisis. It is projected that implementing Kahoot will strengthen the understanding of historical content, engagement, and motivation. The Project contributes significantly to research on active methodologies, offering an innovate proposal to optimize technological resources, foster critical thinking, and facilitate meaningful learning. In conclusion, this initiative seeks to transform the educational dynamic, demonstrating how digital tools can overcome current academic deficiencies and promote a more dynamic, interactive, and effective study environment for comprehensive student development.
